Getting Puffers Soon... Help!

Post by Brent »

I'm getting 2-4 Dwarf Puffers for my 10g aquarium. I know what the conditions for the aquarium need to be, but what I don't know is what I need product-wise.

What kind of heater, special products, filtration, cycling advice, etc.

All help appreciated!

This is a great website for learning about dwarfs: http://www.dwarfpuffers.com/
They're easy to take care of and have great personalities. If you can get 1:3 male:female ratio, they'll be much happier. And they love java moss and live snails for food.

Be sure to read the fishless cycling article in our Library. You'll also need to know how to sex them so read that article too.
